About Dead End Street: Founded in 1997 by Ivan R. Black, John P. Rutledge and Fred M. Straughn, the company was originally named Dead End Street Publications, LLC. But, upon filing its servicemark with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, the company changed its name to Dead End StreetSM to maximize the value of its servicemark. It has grown from a pioneer in the electronic publishing industry to a leader in the field. The company recently teamed with NuvoMedia, among others, to sponsor the first ever electronic publishing convention, ReBA-Con 2000 – the wildly successful industry gathering held June 17th and 18th at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Warf Marriott Hotel. Dead End StreetSM banners and promotional materials were displayed prominently throughout the much trafficked convention site, and its flyers were in almost everyone’s hands. Company officials drew large crowds to their panel discussions, and everyone was talking about Dead End StreetSM. Dead End StreetSM is truly the prototype of a "branded" business. Synonymous with originality and high quality, the company is recognized as a prominent member of an industry still in its infancy. It has an extremely strong business model and intellectual property foundation. Its current stable contains authors with print publishing credits that include Random House, Dell, Simon & Schuster, Harcourt-Brace and Greenwood/Praeger. Clearly, the world is becoming one big Dead End StreetSM. Investment inquiries should be directed to John P. Rutledge at: jrutledge@deadendstreet.com. |
